• SS18-SSX-mediated hijacking of BAF complexes drives synovial sarcoma

  Synovial sarcoma (SS) is defined by a recurrent t(x;18) chromosomal translocation, which produces the hallmark SS18-SSX oncogenic fusion. Incorporation of SS18-SSX into BAF complexes renders BAF complexes aberrant in two distinct manners: the addition of 78aa of SSX onto SS18, and concomitant loss of BAF47 assembly. However, the importance and functional contributions of each of these perturbations on BAF complex targeting and gene expression regulation remain unclear. Here we use an integrative set of genomic approaches in human cancer cell lines and primary tumor samples to define the mechanistic consequences of the SS18-SSX fusion oncoprotein. We find that SS18-SSX hijacks BAF complexes to broad polycomb domains to activate bivalent genes, driving a unique gene expression program distinct from other loss-of-function BAF complex malignancies. Importantly, restoration of BAF47 rescues enhancer activation but is dispensable for proliferative arrest in cell lines. These results demonstrate that gain-of-function SS18-SSX-mediated BAF complex targeting and gene activation is the driving event in SS, and present a mechanism by which distinct functions of BAF complexes can be co-opted to drive oncogenesis.

• Whole exome and targeted DNA sequencing data for formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue from de novo small cell prostatic carcinoma cases

  This dataset consists of 44 compressed paired fastq files, 15 of which are generated from whole exome sequencing, and 29 of which are generated from DNA sequencing using a targeted gene panel capturing the exonic regions of 73 prostate cancer driver genes. Targeted DNA sequencing was performed on an Illumina MiSeq (v3 600 cycle kit), and exome sequencing was done using an Illumina HiSeq 2500 (v4 250 cycle kit) machine. The fastq files are named in accordance with the sample aliases provided, which reflect the pathology of interest to this study (small cell prostatic carcinoma--SCPC), whether it was sequenced using an exome or targeted gene panel, whether the FFPE sample was sourced from tumor or benign tissue (labeled T or B, respectively), and whether there exists multiple samples belonging to a single patient.

• Chromosome Segregation Errors Promote a Diverse Spectrum of Simple and Complex Genomic Rearrangements

  Cancer genomes are frequently characterized by numerical and structural karyotypic abnormalities. Here we combined an inducible centromere-specific inactivation approach with selection for a conditionally essential gene, a strategy we term ‘CEN-SELECT’, and show that single-chromosome missegregation during cell division can directly drive a broad spectrum of structural rearrangement types. Cytogenetic profiling revealed that missegregated chromosomes are 120-fold more susceptible to developing seven major categories of structural variants, including translocations, insertions, deletions, and reassembly into chromothriptically rearranged chromosomes. Whole-genome sequencing of clones with genetically propagatable derivative chromosomes identified complex rearrangements and copy-number alterations that can result in gene inactivation or extrachromosomal gene amplification. We conclude that chromosome segregation errors are sufficient to drive extensive structural variation that recapitulates those commonly associated with human cancers.
